4. Censorship And Free Speech

Joe Rogan Experience

When it comes to free speech and the topic of censorship, Joe Rogan is a name which has regularly been brought into the conversation in recent times due to the podcast host's insistence on not altering his approach to this platform or the diverse array of guests he invites onto his show to offer their point of view.

After previously touching on this topic earlier in the pod - when Jones recounted his Sacha Baron Cohen incident - Rogan again hammered home his opinion that "you can't just go around censoring people", repeating that the answer to "bad speech" is "better speech".

Rogan passionately cut off Jones as he again (for the 170,000th time!) tried to interrupt his thought, and referenced how he feels the lines are changing whenever somebody is silenced or censored. The host also summarised that you can't possibly find out who's right unless you get everybody talking, noting that creating echo chambers is definitely a dangerous thing.

However, judging from this podcast, Rogan would likely prefer if everyone stopped talking for just one damn minute. He'll also likely think twice before sitting opposite a whiskey sipping Jones again any time soon.
